Summary

cmux browser <surface> storage local get (and session) dropped a stored __proto__ key from the whole-area result, while still reporting ok: true. The script built the result with out[k] = st.getItem(k) on a plain object, so a __proto__ key hit the inherited prototype setter and the string value was discarded. browser state save had the same readStorage loop, and browser state load lost the key a second way: it embedded the saved storage as a JavaScript object literal, where "__proto__": "..." sets the prototype instead of creating an entry. Whole-area reads now return every key, and a __proto__ entry survives a state save / state load round trip.

  • storage.get and state save define each entry with Object.defineProperty, the same approach BrowserControlService+EvaluationScript.swift already uses for literal __proto__ keys. The result is still a plain object, so the WebKit result conversion is unchanged.
  • state load parses the payload with JSON.parse, which keeps __proto__ as an own key, before writing entries back.
  • The state save / state load storage scripts moved from inline strings in TerminalController.swift into BrowserControlService+StorageScripts.swift (storageSnapshotScript(), storageRestoreScript(storageLiteral:)), next to the other storage builders, so the package tests can run them. The controller now calls these builders; cookies, navigation and file I/O are untouched.

Single-key reads were already correct and are untouched.

Fixes #16112

Testing

BrowserControlServiceStorageScriptsTests runs the emitted scripts in JavaScriptCore against in-memory local and session storage fixtures holding a normal key and __proto__: whole-area storage.get for both areas, a single-key __proto__ control, state save for both areas, and state load writing a saved __proto__ entry back to both areas. The frozen whole-area storage.get script expectation is updated.

swift test --filter BrowserControlServiceStorageScriptsTests in Packages/macOS/CmuxBrowser, with the Command Line Tools toolchain (Swift 6.2.3), not Xcode:

  • dc89f1a (storage.get regression only): the whole-area test fails for both areas, e.g. {"ok":true,"value":{"regular":"local-control"}}; the other 10 pass.
  • 5238e3b (storage.get fix): 11/11 pass.
  • 36bad83 (state scripts moved verbatim, plus their regressions): the snapshot test returns {"local":{"regular":"local-control"},"session":{"regular":"session-control"}} and the restore test writes back only regular; the other 11 pass.
  • b559b43 (state fix): 13/13 pass.

python3 scripts/verify-local.py on b559b43: 4/4 selected checks passed, including Swift syntax for TerminalController.swift.

A review subagent ran the old and new storage.get scripts through a real WKWebView (callAsyncJavaScript plus the evaluation-script wrapper): before the fix __proto__ is missing, after it the key survives into the Swift dictionary for both areas.

Not run: the app build (so the TerminalController.swift call-site change is only syntax-checked locally), app-host tests, tests_v2/test_browser_api_extended_families.py, or a live storage get / state save / state load against a tagged build.

Changelog

Fixed: cmux browser storage get without a key, browser state save and browser state load now keep a stored __proto__ entry in local and session storage

Proof

No UI change. The failing-then-passing tests above are the proof.

Checklist

  • Behavior changes have added or updated tests, or Testing says why not
  • Reviewed with a subagent before merge (cmux-review), and all bot and human review comments resolved

Note

Medium Risk
Changes page-world scripts for storage dump/restore used by CLI and browser state persistence; behavior shifts for unusual keys but is covered by new tests.

Overview
Fixes whole-area storage.get (and browser.state.save snapshots) silently dropping a stored __proto__ key by building result objects with Object.defineProperty instead of out[k] = …, so prototype-colliding keys stay ordinary data.

Moves the inline Web Storage JS for browser.state.save / browser.state.load out of TerminalController into BrowserControlService as storageSnapshotScript() and storageRestoreScript(); restore now feeds the payload through JSON.parse so a saved __proto__ entry is not lost when rehydrating local/session storage.

Adds JavaScriptCore tests that exercise get, snapshot, and restore against fixtures containing __proto__ keys.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Browser state save and restore now includes local and session storage. Restoring state clears and repopulates available storage areas from the saved data.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Whole-area storage reads and saved snapshots preserve special keys, including __proto__, as regular data entries.
    • Direct reads return the stored values for these keys, which remain accessible and updateable like other storage entries.

Thanks for opening your first cmux pull request!

We're a small team and the outside-PR queue is long, so a reply can take a while, sometimes longer than we'd like. If this one goes quiet and you'd like eyes on it, comment here and we'll pick it up.

A few things that help:

  • Start here covers what reviewers look for, what CI runs for you, and what happens next.
  • If the CLA check asks, reply with the sentence it gives you.
  • You don't need to run the app-host or UI tests locally. CI runs the ones your diff touches once a maintainer approves the first workflow run.
  • The verification ladder shows which checks fit your change. Say in the description which ones you ran.
  • If we end up fixing the same problem another way, we'll credit you with a Co-authored-by trailer and link the fix here.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Whole-area local and session storage reads now preserve keys such as __proto__ as own properties. Browser state save and load use shared scripts to snapshot and restore storage. Tests cover reads, snapshots, and restores.

Whole-area storage reads
Packages/macOS/CmuxBrowser/Sources/CmuxBrowser/Control/BrowserControlService+StorageScripts.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxBrowser/Tests/CmuxBrowserTests/Control/BrowserControlServiceStorageScriptsTests.swift
Whole-area reads define storage entries as enumerable, configurable, writable own properties. Tests cover __proto__ in local and session whole-area reads and verify direct reads return its stored value.
Browser state storage snapshots and restores
Packages/macOS/CmuxBrowser/Sources/CmuxBrowser/Control/BrowserControlService+StorageScripts.swift, Sources/TerminalController.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxBrowser/Tests/CmuxBrowserTests/Control/BrowserControlServiceStorageScriptsTests.swift
New script builders snapshot local and session storage and restore object entries. TerminalController uses these builders for browser state save and load. Tests cover snapshots and restoration of __proto__ entries.

Explanation

The pull request also changes browser.state.save and browser.state.load. It adds storageSnapshotScript and storageRestoreScript, changes restore parsing, and adds snapshot and restore behavior tests. Issue #16112 covers browser ... storage ... get; it does not require state persistence changes. These changes are separate command behavior, not only supporting tests or refactoring for the linked objective.

- Around line 62-68: Update the inline readStorage function used by
browser.state.save to define each storage entry as an own enumerable property,
using the Object.defineProperty pattern already present in browser.storage.get.
This ensures a stored __proto__ key is included when the result is
JSON-stringified.
